Museum der bildenden Künste Leipzig

The museum is located in Leipzig's city center (in the inner city ring road). The S-Bahn station Markt with stops for all regional S-Bahn lines is in the immediate vicinity, and the Main Station is only a few minutes' walk away. Most Leipzig streetcar lines stop at the surrounding stops Goerdelerring, Main Station and Augustusplatz.

We recommend traveling by public transport, but if necessary you can park in the following parking garages near the museum:

Parking garage Höfe am Brühl: Am Hallischen Tor 2, 04109 Leipzig
Augustusplatz parking garage: Augustusplatz 15, 04109 Leipzig
Parking garage Marktgalerie: Thomaskirchhof 18, 04109 Leipzig

There are two free disabled parking spaces in front of the main entrance to the museum in Katharinenstraße for holders of a corresponding permit.

Please note: Leipzig is a declared environmental zone - driving here is only permitted with a green sticker.

For coaches: Parking for coaches is not permitted within the inner city ring road. There are bus parking spaces at the east side of the main station (access via Brandenburger Straße). We recommend the bus stops in Goethestraße for passengers getting on and off. If absolutely necessary, buses can also stop at the entrances to the museum (Brühl, Katharinenstraße, Reichsstraße, Böttchergässchen), but we would like to expressly point out the lack of maneuvering space for large vehicles within the inner city ring road.

To make your visit as pleasant as possible, please note the following information:

Cloakrooms are located in the entrance area and are barrier-free. The lockers can be used against a deposit (€1 / €2 or deposit stamp).
Bags and rucksacks larger than A5 must be handed in before your visit.
Unfortunately, lockers for suitcases are not available. If necessary, please use the lockers at the nearby main railway station.

Photography without flash and tripod for private purposes is generally permitted free of charge, exceptions will be indicated separately. However, we ask that you keep a minimum distance from the artworks and do not disturb other visitors.

Visit the Café Treff on the ground floor of the museum. Access is directly via the Reichsstraße and Böttchergässchen entrances and is therefore also possible without an admission ticket.
The opening hours depend on when the museum is open.

Groups of 5 or more people have to register. This ensures guaranteed access to the Impuls Rembrandt exhibition at the desired time. The time slots recommended for visiting the exhibition are reserved automatically when you register.

Reduced group rate, valid for groups of 10 or more: 10.50 € per person
To receive the group discount, the group ticket must be paid for by one person.
